DD, I made it half way through and I couldn't figure out jack **** with it.

It lost me. Unless it opens up after episode 1, I think I may just have to pass on it. Which was a bummer because I really like some of the previews

Really good actors in it. I am only two episode in but its pretty good so far. Some of the British accents require you to pay a little closer attention than usual.

you should like it Willy; tom hardy is in love with his sister, and they have consummated their relationship.
very good show in my opinion. i like the EIT vs UK vs USA angles being played out.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out the incest thing there. Still confused about that.

Hell, I'll go and finish the first episode and give it another shot. Dammit, there better be killing and slaughter in episode 2.

lots of blood and sinister activities going on. James Delaney is quite the badass, and then he went to Africa and learned the satan worshipping/conjuring.

the sister is his half-sister and does not want anything to do with him now, but before he left for Africa, she really liked it...

evil, young stepmom is on deck too!

I caught an episode. Couldn't help but notice they were dropping F-bombs left and right. Perhaps I'm behind in the times, Didn't realize they were allowed to do that.

Very good series, but the language/accent makes it a little hard to follow. FX has had some really good programming over the years.

We've been DVRing it and finally got caught up last night. This is our favorite current show. Another in a long line of great FX series. The best network on TV for the last 10 years or so. We give every FX series a chance, and they usually deliver.

Between the british accents, the terms and phrases from 200 years ago, and Tom Hardy's mumbling delivery, the only way to watch is with the closed captioning turned on.

I like it. Seems that any series aired on FX or AMC is really top notch. I give it 2 [thumb2]

Hardy does tend to mumble. I have to turn the volume up when watching in order not to miss anything.

Upon reflection, I am not sure that Delaney did not have a relationship with the cross-dresser spy too...
